Objective/Explanation:
When it comes to realism in animals, a bird is the first thing I drew. Birds are my favourite of all the animals, and I've drawn many to date.

Unlike most of my other animal drawing formats, my bird ones are a bit different. They're portrayed more like studies, where the name of the bird appears at the top and there are two drawings of each bird on a plain background. Some of my bird drawings aren't like this, but most are.

On this page, I'll be showing some of my favourite bird drawings. I've done a lot of them, so these are just some of the highlights.

"Birds are a realism artist's biggest fantasy. They offer so many colours and styles to work with."

Despite the drawing style being different from my other drawings, I've always loved my b ird drawings. Drawing two of them really highlights my abilities, and lets me explore each bird more.
